Eagles-Redskins Week 6 inactives, with analysis

As we noted earlier this week, the Philadelphia Eagles will come into their Week 6 matchup very healthy, as they have in every other game this season. The Redskins, on the other hand, come into this matchup very banged up.

Here are the inactive lists:

• CB Leodis McKelvin: McKelvin did not appear on the injury report last week against the Lions, but he tweaked his previously injured hamstring during the game. With McKelvin be out, Ron Brooks would likely start on the outside. In nickel sets, Brooks would move inside and Jalen Mills would enter the game and play on the outside.

That could present favorable matchups for the Redskins, as Mills does not have good long speed and could be over-matched by the speed of DeSean Jackson.

• WR Bryce Treggs: It appears the Eagles will roll with four wide receivers, meaning Treggs won't see action unless one gets hurt.

• OL Dillon Gordon: Gordon is a versatile player the Eagles want to develop over time, but he'll be inactive for the foreseeable future.

• OL Isaac Seumalo: Seumalo is an injured scratch for the fifth time in as many games so far this season.

• OL Josh Andrews: Andrews makes three inactive offensive linemen, down from four the first four games, with Halapoulivaati Vaitai being elevated to the active roster.

• DE Steven Means: This is Means' second inclusion on the inactive list this season, as the Eagles have no injured players for the second straight week.

• CB C.J. Smith: Smith was added to the roster this week after Lane Johnson was officially suspended.

Notable players on IR/PUP/Suspension

• RT Lane Johnson: Rookie fifth-round pick Halapoulivaati Vaitai will take over for Lane Johnson over the next 10 weeks while Johnson serves his suspension.

• TE Jordan Reed (concussion): In an unexpected development, Reed was diagnosed with a concussion on Thursday after he showed concussion-like symptoms on Tuesday. This is his SIXTH concussion, and it's one in which nobody even knows where it came from.

• WR Josh Doctson: Doctson was the Redskins' 2016 first-round pick. He has been out since Week 2 with an Achilles injury, but obviously, the Redskins have their share of good receivers in DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. On the season, Doctson has two catches for 66 yards.
